Schools Working Together to Save Energy

James and Richard are mentors to the LESS CO2 programme, running workshops across the country to clusters of schools, helping them save energy and become more sustainable schools going forward.

The LESS CO₂ sustainable schools programme is a free energy efficiency programme available to any UK school, regardless if you are council run, an academy or independent.

Schools that take part in LESS CO2 save on average £2,600 and 10 tonnes of carbon in their first year.

The LESS CO₂ programme enables schools to work together and learn from each other through a series of half day workshops spread across the year, led by experts and award-winning sustainable schools and supported by peer mentoring. As a result, staff are empowered and equipped to make changes and improvements to their school to reduce energy usage, save money on bills and lower CO₂ emissions.
